Underground fuel tanks
EPA's UST Finder records 219 tank facilities in Washington: 157 tanks in service and 444 closed. 268 fuel releases are on record, of which 11 remain open. Open releases are cleanups that have not reached "no further action".
Radon
EPA maps Washington as Zone 2, moderate predicted indoor radon (2 to 4 pCi/L average). Radon and air quality are covered in depth on lung.com.
The record for one specific address
County figures blur what matters: distance. The Address Environmental Report runs these same federal datasets against one address and reports every site, tank, polluter and water result around it, with distances, in about a minute.
